      Why bother?

      If you didn’t cut the “fuck your feelings” crowd out 8 years ago, that’s on you.

        Not all GOP people are MAGA. Some of them are into low taxes, religion or guns. We risk some variation of civil war if we lump all of those people together. Try to see them as human.

          At this point I respectfully disagree. I would have given credence to this argument until roughly January 7th 2021.

          I mean I still see them as human. I’ll ever let go of that. That why I hate those I hate; they’re willing to dehumanize.

          But, that’s why I just divest and distance. Most of em are struggling hard and I’m feeling like my peak is yet in sight so… Idk 🤷🏼‍♀️

            Did the entire party storm the capital? You’re no better than Trump when it comes to prejudice.

                Some of them did. It’s not fair to treat any group as a monolith.

                And feel free, coward.

                    You’re afraid to have a discussion with them. You’re afraid to have a discussion with me. People are going to disagree sometimes, and that’s ok. The path of the coward is to cut people out forever.

    Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

    Rules:

    1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

    Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

    Example:

    1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
    2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
    3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
    4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
    5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

    We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

    All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

    That’s all the rules!
